When updating the look of a property, many households want to replace their windows and doors, understanding how much of a difference it can make to a home’s appearance. The complexity of each project will vary from case to case, but if you have specialist glazing designs like roof lights, sash windows or bays, you may have to do some additional planning with your window company.
Bay windows are a stunning feature of any home. They provide more living space, extended views and light, improved ventilation and beautiful aesthetics, so it’s worth maintaining them to increase your property’s kerb appeal.
Want to update your old bay windows? Here are our top tips.
Can you replace a bay window?
Modern bay windows are the perfect solution for tired and old fittings. Many old bay windows have rotting or warping wood, stiff handles, cracked paint and draught issues, and they can start to bring down the overall appearance of your home if they’re due an update. You should also consider replacing your other windows and glazing simultaneously for a cost-efficient project.
Luckily, there are some brilliant modern products that come with heaps of benefits, including impressive functionality and design features in keeping with traditional properties. During bay window replacements, there are several steps required, taking longer than a single casement or sash window upgrade due to the number of glazed units involved.
How long does a bay window replacement take?
Bay window replacement times will vary based on the number of individual panels, so your window installation team will give you a more accurate timeframe. Each window takes several hours to replace, and bay windows consist of multiple areas, but it’s usually a same-day job for an efficient team.
If you’re completing a full window and door replacement project, including front and back doors, you should include these times in your plans. It may take a few days to complete the entire job.
Can bay windows have coloured frames?
Bay windows can have coloured frames just like other window designs, but you’ll need to work closely with your supplier to determine the available options. Warm colours like reds and browns have a more traditional feel, while cooler tones, such as greens and greys, can feel modern while still providing a classic look.
When choosing window frame colours, you could match existing colours of the building, consider your home’s décor, pick a neutral shade or go for something more bold. Each design will have a varying effect, and you can choose different shades inside and out if your bay window has dual colour options.
